Tom Weathers Was A True Gentleman Of High Moral Character - And Response (2) Saturday, December 12, 2020

I can’t count the number of RBHS football games I attended before, during and after the years our daughters were there from the fall of ‘91 through the spring of ‘98. The four years that Gerald Riggs played were some of the most exciting games.
